Abstract

An improved twist-on wire connector that permits the user to form the junction ends of wire leads into a low resistance electrical connection with the twist-on wire connector including a self adhering lubricant located along a portion of the interior of the twist-on wire connector. In one embodiment the wires are drawn into the housing by a spiral thread through the twisting action of the wires with respect to housing. As the wires are drawn into the spiral thread, the torque applied to the wires increases until the wires can no longer be hand twisted into the wire connector. Once the wires are drawn into contact with the lubricant the torque resistance, which is a result of frictional resistance between the wires and the spiral thread, decreases while the radial compressive forces between the wires and the spiral thread are substantially unaffected. Consequently, the rate of torsonial resistance decreases allowing the wires to be brought into further electrical contact along a greater length through only hand tightening while at the same time the radially compressive forces on the wires are greater thus ensuring a low resistance electrical contact that remains stable over an extending period of time. Because only a small amount of self-adhering lubricant is needed within the wire connector to provide an enhanced low-resistance electrical connection problems of the self-adhering lubricant accidentally coming into contact with the exterior housing of other twist-on wire connectors is minimized even if not caps are used on the twist-on wire connectors. <IMAGE>
